South African Powerball History

The South Africa Powerball was introduced in October of 2009 by the South Africa Lottery Administration, the sole Lottery funder and administrator in South Africa, as part as on-going efforts to raise money for public funds. The South African Powerball was added to offer a bigger jackpot as well as higher statistical possibilities of winning than the other South African lotteries available.

To play the South Africa Powerball, select 5/50 numbers and an additional number (Powerball) from a different matrix of 1-20. Those who enjoy the South Africa Powerball, may wish to play US Powerball online, which regularly offers massive jackpot prizes!.

Winning the South Africa Powerball

Players win the South Africa Powerball jackpot by correctly selecting all five regular numbers as well as the Powerball number. Prize winners are not required to pay taxes.

One winning Powerball ticket? Why not two? A Gauteng engineer bought two tickets, at two different stores in Johannesburg, with the exact same numbers to a South Africa Powerball draw in March 2017. When the numbers were drawn, it turned out he had two of the four winning tickets. The lucky man, who decided to stay anonymous, walked away with R15.2 million in prize money.

An enormous South African Powerball jackpot prize of R102 million was won in June 2011, but amazingly, that prize was never claimed. Powerball set a new record when a R232,131,750.69 jackpot was won by single ticket in the draw on 19 February 2019. Check lottery results for this and 80+ world lotteries here.
